Israel is WINNING the intifada
Israeli security guards to lose jobs,June 23, 2004 or correctly titled, Israel is winning the Intifada. ABOUT 20,000 Israeli security guards are likely to soon find themselves out of work as a result of the decline in Palestinian attacks, an Israeli official said today. Many restaurateurs and the owners of other leisure facilities were set to lay off staff who frisk customers and their bags after a marked drop in attacks in the first half of the year, Benny Peperman, director of the infrastructure ministry, told the Yediot Aharonot daily. The Israeli military said yesterday that the number of attacks by Palestinian militants in the first six months of the year had dropped by 75 per cent from the same period in 2003. The number of private security guards has risen from 17,000 to 46,000 since the September 2000 start of the Palestinian intifada or uprising. Posted by: Anon1 2004-06-23 |
